ND is 1-3. They just lost to Duke at home. We have zero Top 25 teams on our non-conference schedule.
ND came into the year Top 10. They have lost to Mich St, Texas, and Duke. It isn't like they are losing to the little sisters of the poor.
Not having Top 25 teams is a poor indicator since SU isn't anywhere near a Top 25 school these days. In time, years down the road, I would have no problem with scheduling some tougher/more challenging opponents. But it has to stop as its killing our program. USF and UCONN may not be Top 25 but they are equal to better than us as programs in recent years
Next year is a prime example...with FSU, Clemson, Miami, LSU, L'ville...even if we improve talent wise and play better, it probably won't reflect it in the record and standings. It's tough to grow as a program that way. Almost impossible. Ya gotta be smart and make it easier on yourself
